How to prevent Instagram from selling your photos

Yep I agree..it’s an easy solution and something I thought about earlier today when I read it, but what’s the point? I just posted this to IG’s FB page……” Yes, ownership of the images always stays with the photographer, BUT there will be no way to police where your images are ending up, how they are being used and if any money was exchanged. The internet and all of these social networking sites are still the Wild West. Sadly, I will probably be deleting my images. I’d rather be safe than sorry.”
